. - however, confess to have drank it more times than we care to e numerate. The resemblance between it and a Cabin e t Minister of our day is so remote that we never could discover it. This volume includes a history of the Whig and Tory factions, from their rise after the Restoration, till the accession of the House of Brunswick. The author tha n the outset professes himself a greater admirer of Wh i g of Tory p r i nc i p l es ; an d we are some ti mes in clined to think, that his apprehension of appearing Partial to the Whigs has led him to gloss over some of the foul est sta i ns on the historical character o f t h e Torus, This is peculiarly obvious in his chapter on the for ce d a bdi cat i on of James, and the con d uct o f t h e Tory courtiers on the landing of the Prince of Orange i n England. James was a cruel, heartless despot ; but tho se who betrayed him were the men by whose coun cils he was encouraged to trample upon the Constitu tion, the Laws, and the Religion of this country. The , e nd Was just and laudable, but the means were execra °le. As for the Whigs, they never supported James ; and therefore they cast no stain upon their public cha racter or their principles, as a party, by opposing him. The most important portion of this work is yet to be written. Great labour will be required to finish it 80 as to leave nothing to be desired by the future historian. FINE ARTS. r DERINGS IN SOUTH WALES. PORTS L, IL Tilt, London, 1836. The engravings in these two Numbers show skill and I ndustry, though in the view of " Chepstow Castle and t he river Wye" them is a stiffness and harshness in the trees that crowd the river's bank, and bend as if they w ere made of wire, which, with a little more pains taking might have been avoided. The literary illus trations are from the pen of Mr. Roscoe, a traveller who seems endowed with übiquity, for we find him one day in Spain ; the next in North Wales, scrambling over the mountain range of Snowden ; and the next Paying a visit to the Devil's Bridge, in Cardiganshire. We hope in his future sketches of South Wales he will make a point of dOing justice to the sublime but little trodden district of the Carmarthenshire Black Moun tains. He will find at Llyn-y-van a scene fully equal io romantic grandeur to any he has met with in North Wales ; but which, owing to its lying far away from the ordinary track of tourists, who are too apt to follow blindly in each other's steps, has not yet had justice 'tone it. THE MARQUIS AND MARCHIONESS OF LON beNnEnnY.—Letters from Moscow, dated the 10th inst., inform us that the Marquis and Marchioness of London derry, who are sojourning there, have been treated with the t h(ist marked distinction. If they had been Royal person ages it would scarcely have been possible to show them greater marks of honour. They were received by the Em press., at her country-house in the most distinguished manner. Her Majesty gave them an audience without the British A mbassador, which is an extraordinary mark of favour. She also gave a large dinner and a splendid ball in honour of her noble visitors. Successive dinners of 100 covers, or more, were giv en by the Governor-General, Tolstoi, the Prince S erges Galitzen, the Givil Governor General Neboulson, a l d others. The theatres were crowded, and particular Russian operas and dances given to gratify the distinguished English visitors. The Marquis visited and examined all th e splendid military establishments in the town, the Senior and Junior Cadets' College, the Military Hospitals, and every department connected with the army ; while the Marchioness was employed in inspecting L'lnstitute pour l es Dames Nobles, La Maison des Enfans Trouves, and the ether magnificent establishments that have arisen within the last twelve years in this extraordinary city, under the fo s t e ring care of the Emperors Alexander and Nicholas. We learn that Lord Londonderry is perfectly astonished at th e rapid progress in civilization visible in all parts of the colossal empire ; and that every one endeavoured to display to the Noble Lord how much they would have valued his Presence in the country as Ambassador. The Noble Mar- Vs and his lady intended to return to St. Petersburgh auout the 24th inst.—Morning paper. THE LATE GEORGE COLMAN THE YOUNGER. "--Mr. Colman was born on the 21st of October, 1762, so t hat he bad just completed his 74th year. His early edu cation commenced at Fountain's academy, Marylebone ; ho afterwards went to Westminster School, and next he en tered at Christchurch, Oxford, where he distinguished him self by his vivacity and the quickness of his parts ; but his father thought fit to send him to King's College, Old Aber deen, to arrest by its strictness of discipline the very great gaiety and unrestrained sprighliness of his youth, and to 4elove him from those allurements that too often impede e habits of studious discipline, and retard the progress of the p up il' s care er. There are many stories of the Pranks and vagaries of young Colman in his early days, but they were not tainted with anything vicious or that ; ° °ld lower him in the estimation of his associates or t r b i el l,ds• After finishing his studie s, p robabl y stimulat ed by high character of his father as a dramatist and literary 'an, when he came to London he commenced dramatic zither.

The works of " George Colman, the younger," are well known, and it is remarkable that he received for one of his plays a larger suns than was bigr b e f ore g i ven f or a dramatic performance. This was Theatre John Bull. His connection with the Ha y market 'neatre was occasioned by his marriage with Miss Morris ; an d he afterwards sold his interest in the concern to the pre sent proprietor, subject to the payment of an annuity Mrs. Coleman, from whom he has long lived separate. Sur render the m any popular pieces written by him are — T h e Iron of Calais, The Mountaineers, John Bull , T he • 4,.°, 1 1 f Chest, The Poor Gentleman, The Heir at Law, La w o f Java, &c. &c. When Mrs. Coleman died, r. Coleman married Mrs. Gibbs, the celebrated actress, Its " made her first appearance at the Haymarket Theatre, Miss Logan, in 1783. He had two sons, not the off !Pling of the marriage with Miss Morris, one of whom was pthe army, an d died some years ago ; his other son had a aee in th o L o rd Chamberlain's Office, but has for some r e ars been resident abroad. At one time Mr. Colman ho ped that hi s so n might succeed him in the office of Exa tn°Per of Plays ; but it will have been seen from our paper h i Saturday that Mr. Charles Kemble has been appointed successor.

AN UNPUBLISHED TRAGEDY BY DR. BIRD. (From the Carlton Chronicle.) We have been favoured with the loan of the MS. copy of this tragedy, and shall present our readers with a few ex tracts from the dialogue, which may enable them to judge of its literary merits. Touching the plot and general cha racter of the drama we have already written in this journal. Spartacus was the first literary production of Dr. Bird. It is not a good play, quite the contrary : yet we think it is full of promise, and that promise we understand has been fulfilled. Nature intended not Dr. Bird for a poet, but we are by no means surprised, after reading Spartacus, to learn that he has won fame as a novelist and an essayist. There are many evidences in the drama of right thinking and strong thinking, and of right feeling and strong feeling. Take for example the following passages in which the Thracian is made to speak so truly of the demon-men of the de mon-fortress : SPARTACUS. [s not this Rome, the great city ? BRACCHIUS. Ay, and thou shouldst thank the Gods, they Have suffered thee to see it, before thou diest. SPARTACUS. I heard of it when I was a boy among the hills Piping to my father's flocks—they said, that Spoke of it, it was the Queen of Cities, the Metropolis of the world.—My heart grew big within Me, to hear of its greatness, I thought those men Who could make it so, were greater Than men, they were—Gods 1 And are they not, sirrah 1 LENTULTJET. lIPARTACUIP. How many Palaces, that look like the habitations Of Divinities, are here about me—Here are the Marble mountains that have been hewn down And shaped anew for men to dwell among Gold and purple, and a million of men thronging The pillar'd hills. BRACCHIUS. And what think'st thou now thou hast seen it ? STARTACV3. That if Romans had not been fiends, Rome had Never been great.—Whence came this greatness But from the miseries of subjugated nations? How many myriads of happy people, people That had not wrong'd Rome, for they knew Not Rome—how many myriads of these were Slain like the beasts of the fields, that Rome Might fatten upon their blood and become great. Look ye, Roman, there's not a palace on these Hills, that cost not the lives of a thousand Innocent men : there is no deed of greatness Ye can boast, but it was achieved upon the Ruin of a nation ; there is no joy ye can feel But its ingredients are blood end tears. The following are equally just and true. The woman and the warrior both speak as they should feel. Could these bloody shows be exhibited now-a-days in Christian countries, the lady-lovers of deep tragedies and bull-fights would speak even as the Praetor's niece. JULIA. Oh, but not to-day; To-morrow, or the next day, when the games are done, I must see them : 'twould kill me not to look Once more upon the fighting gladiators. CRA SS US. Oho! Thou a green girl, and talk of gladiators ? My youth was pass'd in battles, and I am not Unused to blood ; but my flesh always creeps To see these cold blood slaughters. JULIA. So does mine. My heart stops with terror, and my eyes Seem parting from their sockets ; my brain reels While I look on ; and while I look, each time I swear I ne'er will look again. But when They battle boldly, and the people shout, And the poor creatures look so fearless—frowning Not groaning—when they are hurt :—indeed 'tis noble I Oh ! I must see them. In another scene, when in the arena, Spartacus pur sues the theme. BTARTACUS. Well, I am here, — Among these beasts of Rome—a spectacle. This is the temple where they mock the gods With human butchery—most grand, glorious Of structure and device. It should have been a cave— Some foul and midnight pit—or den of bones, Where murder best might veil himself from sight— Women and children, too, to see men die, And clap their hands at every stab. This is The boastful excellence of Rome. I thank the gods There are barbarians. We will next quote the passages in which Thrace is de scribed as before, and after a Roman invasion. They are, perhaps, the most poetical in the drama. JOVIUS. Man do not war on women. Name her ransom. SPARTACUS. Men do not war on women. Look you— One day I clim'd upon the ridgy top Of the cloud-piercing Hwmus, where—among The eagles and the thunders—from that height I look'd upon the world as far as where, Wrestling with storms, the gloomy Eusine chafed On his recoiling shores, and where dim Adriee In her blue bosom quench'd the fiery sphere. Between those surges lay a land, might once Have match'd Elysium, but Rome had made it A Tartarus.—ln my green youth I looked From the same lofty peak where now I stood, And then beheld the glory of those lands Where peace was tinkling on the shepherd's bell, And singing with the reapers. Since that glad day, Rome's conquerors had past With withering armies there ; and all was changed : Peace had departed, howling war was there Cheer'd on by Roman hunters: then methought Even as I look'd upon the alter'd scene, Groans echoed through the valleys thro' which ran Rivers of blood, like smoking Phlegethons Fires flash'd from burning villages, and famine Shriek'd in the empty corn fields. Women and children, Robb'd of their sires and husbands, left to starve ; These were the dwellers of the land. Say'st thou Rome wars not then on women? JOVIUS. This is not to the matter. SPARTAC CS. Now, by Jove, It is these things do Romans—but the earth Is sick of conquerors—there's not a man Not Roman but is Rome's extremest foe : And such am I sworn, from that hour I saw These sights of horror, while tho Gods support me To wreak on Rome such havoc as Rome wreaks— CarnacTe and devastation; woe and ruin Why should I ransom when I swear to slay ? tJovius shows by action he is about to speak. . . . Begone, this is my answer. Th• following passage is curious, as having been applied by a crowded audience to the Whigs and their adherents, and received with peals of applause :# CIASSUS. What a rebel slave ? JOVILII. In these rough rotten times, we do not scruple To raise our rogues to honour. Why then blush To account a slave, that's capable and honest ? The genius of this Thracian, had it been In honourable trust display'd, had quell'd A score of barbarous nations, and may yet, Make but the man a Roman. The scene of the crucifixion of the 6,000 slaves described in nervous language. PIIASARICS. I saw a sight last night that tumid my brain, And set my comrade mad—the Roman highway Is each side lined with crosses, and on each cross Is nail'd a gladiator. Well, 'twas night, When, with a single follower, I did creep Thro' the trench'd army to that road, and saw The executed multitude uplifted Upon the horrid engines. Many lived ; Some moan'd and writh'd in stupid agony ; Some howl'd and prayed for death, and cursed the Gods ; Some turn'd to lunatics, and laugh'd at horror ; And some with fierce and hellish strength had torn Their arms free from the beams ; and so had died, Grasping headlong at air. In the dying scene of Spartacus, on which the curtain falls, there is a touch of true poetry. Tho reverting, in the very moment of dissolution, to the passion which had ani mated the man's dearest and noblest actions in life, is true to nature and beautiful to witness. The heroic soul of the Thracian mountaineer passes away in a gentle tranquil dream. He is achieving in death that return to his be loved father-land for which alone he fought 5o gallantly in life. Slave as he was, he was no vulgar conqueror. He was freedom's champion ; One of those, the few in number, who had not o'erstept The charter to chastise which she bestows On such as wield her weapons; he had kept The whiteness of his soul. And thus it departed, tranquil and joyous, unheeding and untroubled by the din of battle. The "great gainer of battles "—glory's minion —ambition's fool—died on his bed, shouting tete d'armee, and left the world in all the rap ture of the conflict, amidst a convulsion of the elements —the: man who fought for home and freedom, only dies in the melee with the free dream of home. So be it. Now for the passage ! Enter Spartacus wounded. SPARTACUS. All is lost : but cry Victory on : I'll reach the General. CRASSUS. [Flourish. Smite him 1 'tis Spartacus. [Spartacus is wounded by several. APARTACUS. Huh! victory 1 (Crassus, thou diest 1 I know thee very well.) Romans are straws. No prisoners,—nought but blood. Why should there be night now ? [He falls, Mr. Rice„ whose " Jim Crow" has given him extensive popularity, will take his benefit on Wednesday night, at the Surrey Theatre, where his present engagement will close on Saturday. At a meeting of the Dramatic Authors' Society, on Tuesday last, Dr. Bird, the American author of The Gladiator, was unanimously elected an honorary member. Mr. Bulwer, it is said, is to get 300 guineas from Mr. Osbaldiston for his new drama ; besides which, under the late Act, brought in by himself, for the security of copyright in dramas, as it cannot be performed in any theatre with out his consent, he may probably obtain for it a much larger sum. One country manager paid for copyright last week 1001. Earl Howe, in addition to his recent bereavement, which, it is understood, has overcast the circles of the Court with gloom, has had the affliction to lose his mother, the late Baroness Howe, who died somewhat unexpectedly. His Lordship's only sister, the Hon. Marianne Curzon, also died a few years since, in the prime of life. Lord and Lady Stanley and their eldest son have arrived at Knowsley Park, from their annual visit to his Lordship's estates in the county of Tipperary. The Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs yesterday attended Divine Service at St. John's Church, Westminster. They went there in state. One of the Sheriffs (Johnson) resides on Milbank-row, which is in that parish, and at that resi dence he gives his official dinners and other entertainments consequent upon his office. The sermon was preached (by the Rev. Mr. Croly, of Walbrook) for the benefit of the Metropolitan Benefit Society, the foundation of which was recently laid by the Lord Mayor, the Charity being for the aged subscribers to the Benefit Societies of London, & c , The collection was a considerable one. _ French literature has just sustained a great loss by the death of M. Raynouard, Secretary to the French Academy, who died on the 27th, at his house at Passy. The arrangements for the continental voyage of the Vauxhall Balloon are at length completed, and Mr. Green and his adventurous companions are only waiting a favourable wind. In the Palace of the Archduke Charles, at Vienna, there is the largest collection of engravings in the world. It contains upwards of 150,000 prints, contained in 900 portfolios, and arranged according - to the various schools and masters. There has been a saving of poor-rates during the last year, and since the establishment of the Hone Union, of 8,747/. After a marriage in Connecticut, the bridegroom took the parson aside most mysteriously, and whispered to him—" Can't you take the pay out in tatoes ?" At the auditing of the accounts of the Wincanton Union on Saturday, they displayed a saving in the year of 4,4791. On Thursday, at the Brighton police-office, a mise rable-looking old woman, all but naked, was placed at the bar. She had been found in an unfinished house, where some girls had stripped her of her rags (for they could not be called clothes), and had burnt them, and she had been for three days without food. While the officers were lead ing her away, a concealed pocket dropped from her, in which were upwards of two pounds, and she had fifty pounds in the hands of a gentleman at Lewes. She was ordered into the workhouse, and the officers could scarcely drag her from the bar, so importunate was she for the return of her money. On Saturday, at the Kingston Petty Sessions, two lads, named James and Henry Sibley, were charged with a robbery at Hampton Court Palace. The prisoner Sibley endeavoured to dispose of a silver spoon to Mr. Robinson, of Kingston, who, from the crest having been erased, sus pected that it had been stolen, and he gave the prisoner and his companion into custody ; when it was ascertained that the property belonged to the Hon. Berkeley Paget, at the Palace.—The prisoners were remanded. A letter of the 18th instant, from Vienna, an nounces that the Duchess of Berry bad been delivered at Gratz of a daughter. Much curiosity was manifested on Saturday in con sequence of the heavy fall of snow, which it was feared would greatly impede, if not prevent the running of the trains on the Greenwich Railway, but not the least incon venience was experienced, and the carriages ran as usual. An application was made to one of the police of fices at the west end of the town a short time since, under the following extraordinary circumstances :—The wife of a tradesman, carrying on a most extensive business at the west end of the town, had, it appeared, while on a visit at a watering-place; imprudently suffered the attentions of a young man of fashionable exterior to be paid to her for some time ; but she, at length, broke off the connection, and re turned to town. She had not been long returned before she received a visit from the individual whom she had seen at the watering-place, and, upon her requesting him to leave the house, lie told her in plain terms that he should not leave it until some money was given to him. The lady, horror-struck at the occurrence, and fearing lest the affair should come to her husband's knowledge, consented to give him 101., and be then retired. She had, however, but a short respite. In a few days the individual again threw himself in her way, and insisted upon having 201. This sum she also gave him. From this time !the demands of the individual became so exorbitant, he, on one occasion, demanded no less a sum than 1001., that the lady, finding it impossible any longer to comply with them, resolved to communicate the whole affair to her husband, and in con sequence arrangements were made for the apprehension of the individual in question, and he was secured upon his next appearance. Finding his proceedings had been made known, be was induced to declare that he would desist from further persecution of the lady in question, and as the parties were unwilling to come forward as prosecutors, the matter was thus suffered to drop. Mr. Day, the celebrated blacking-manufacturer, who died on Wednesday last, has by his will, bearin ,, date im mediately after the marriage of his daughter with Mr. H.

ST. JAMES'S.—On Saturday evening Miss Rainforth made her third appearance at this Theatre in the character of Mandane, in Arne's opera of .Artaxerxes. Though new to the stage, this young lady appears not to feel the diffi dence which usually attaches to all tyros, nor is its place supplied with arrogance of any kind ; but simplicity, com bined with self-possession, are the peculiar characteristics of her manner. She was throughout received with marked approbation, and great applause followed the execution of " Fly soft ideas, fly," " The Soldier Tired," &c. Mr. Braham was in excellent voice, and played Artabanes with undimi nished effect. Mr. Bennet was also successful in Arbaces ; and, in spite of her feminine appearance, Miss Smith went through her performance of Artaxerxes very efficiently. Har ley was, as usual, whimsical and pleasant in The Stange Gentleman, and Mr. Strickland, in The Miser's Daughter, performs most powerfully and well. Great care and cost have very evidently been bestowed upon the "getting up" of the opera, which is in every respect properly appointed. Several new dramas are in preparation at the different theatres. At Drury-lane an American piece founded on " The Last of the Mohicans," in which Mr. Forrest per forms the principal part. At Covent-garden, besides Mr. Bulwer's play, a new comedy is said to have been accepted. The Adelphi has a drama by Miss Boaden. At the St. James's a new opera by Boz, called The Village Coquettes, which is a great favourite in the green-room, and, judging of the future by the past, we cannot doubt shall also be come, when known, a great favourite with the public. Mr. A. Beckett has also a new piece, called The Miniature. At Covent-garden, to-night, Shakspeare's tragedy of King John will be represented, followed by the spectacle of Aladdin. To-morrow and Friday Othello, and on Wednes day the tragedy of lon. Madame Vestris produces two novelties to-night, at the Olympic—He would be an Actor, by Mr. Charles Ma thews, who will sustain the principal character, and Sere nading ; or, No.—Pump-court, Temple, by Mr. Leman Rede, preceded by the favourite burletta of Court Favour. The English Opera, which closes in a fortnight, presents this evening Barnett's opera of the Mountain Sylph, with the last new one of the Pacha's Bridal. BAIGHTON-SUNDAY. Their Majesties and the Royal suite attended Divine Service in the Drawing-room this morning. The Rev. Dr. Everard and the Rev. Mr. Wood were the officiating Mi nisters. The Palace Chapel will be opened for Divine Worship next Sunday. The King, accompanied by the Countess of Brownlow, drove to Shoreham this afternoon. The Queen has not left the Palace to-day. Lord De Lisle arrived at the Palace this afternoon from Penshurst. The Royal dinner party yesterday evening was limited to their Majesties and their suite. There have been no dinner invitations issued for this evening. Among the calls at the Palace this day were Viscount Molesworth, Earl Kinnoul, Countess of Newburgh and Lady Eyre, Marquis of Bristol, Lord George Loftus, and Sir Robert and Lady Fitzwygram. Among the distinguished persons who have called to pay their respects to their Majesties are the following :—Mr. Justice Littledale (on leaving), Lieut.-Col. and Lady Susan Doyle, and the Countess of Guildford, Lieut.-General Sir Latimer T. Widrington, Officers of the Grenadier Guards, Officers of the Enniskillen Dragoons, Sir M. J., Lady, and the Misses Tierney, Mrs. George Dawson, Mr. J. and Lady Augusta Seymour, Hon.

A heavy fall of snow yesterday, which began about six o'clock in the morning, and continued with scarcely any in termission till nearly four o'clock, prevented their Majesties from taking their carriage airing. Yesterday the King gave audience to Col. Madox and Lieut.-Colonel Lambert, the Commanding Officers of the Grenadier Guards and the Enniskillen Dragoons. The Earl and Countess of Brownlow arrived yesterday evening, and joined the Royal suite. COURT CIRCULAR.

DEPATURES. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. The past week's arrivals of all descriptions of Grain were moderate, and of Flour not considerable. The trade mani fests a tendency to higher prices. This morning the supply of Wheat from Essex has been good, but moderate from other parts; and of all other Corn the show of samples has been middling. The quantity of fine Wheat that now comes to market scarcely equals the weekly wants of the millers, and the demand being free, a further advance of 2s. to 3s. per quarter has been realized on the terms of last Monday for nearly all descriptions. Barley for malting is Is. per quarter higher, but grinding parcels have met no improvement. Beans of both descriptions have firmly maintained last quotations; old parcels sold freely, but new being tender went off slowly. Boiling and Grey Pease are each 2s. per quarter higher than this day se'nnight. The demand for Oats is fully equal to the present supply, and this article has advanced full Is. per quarter since last Monday. As usual there has been much difference of opinion about the top price of Flour, but it is con sidered as settled at 50s. per sack. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. ~425. 58s.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. Sunday Afternoon. The list of the ensuing meeting contains the Criterion and five other sweepstakes, six matches, five plates, and ten stakes, which will close in the usual way. The only stake bearing a subsequent event is the Criterion, which from the length and severity of the course, is considered the best for eliciting Derby-like qualities. It will furnish a large bad field, the public runners being composed of the following :—Corban, Chapeau d'Espagne, Edgar, Darioletta colt, Madeira, King of Clubs, f. out of Lady Slipper, Creusa, and sister to Wa resti, than which it would be difficult to pick out a worse lot. The only dark horses likely to show are Cordova (purchased of Lord Verulam for four or five hundred pounds), Nelson, and Chersedamas, and we do not observe that their owners show any great fondness for them. There has not been any betting on it to justify a quotation. The match of 300, h. ft., D. M., between Bay Middleton and Muezzin, the latter re ceiving 131 b., is down for Wednesday, and is expected to come off, as Lord Exeter rarely pays if his horse is fit to run. Bay Middleton gave the same horse 71b. at Ascot and a 71b. beat ing, so that the result is looked upon as a certainty. At the end of the Meetinc , the following Stakes closed for the several Newmarket Meetings :—The Oatland and the Prendergast, 1837 ; the Two Thousandb and One Thousand Guinea Stakes, 1838; the Buckenham Stakes; a Sweepstake s of 50 soya. each, for three years old, Craven Meeting, and the Vaccillation Stakes of 150 sovs. each, for three years old; (the subscribers to the latter Stake to name two foals of 1836, with the option of changing them in the Craven Meeting 1837, on paying a bonus of 101. extra, to go to the owner of the second horse, one to the post) ; for 1839, the Column Stakes 1840, and the mares for the two Riddlesworths of 1841 ; also for the Drawing Room, Levant, Moleeomb. and 300 soya. Stake at Goodwood. No arrivals yet, our regular visitors being at Euston, Buck enham, or Downham. A fall of snow took place yesterday morning at four o'clock, and continued several hours so heavily that by middle day it laid nearly a foot deep ; the course was covered,;but not so as to prevent the horses going out. At present it is thawing rapidly, but it is clear that the racing will be short and the company thin. An opinion seems to prevail that there will be a sort of bye-meeting after the one about to come off, should the weather change for the better. The Liverpool Steeple Chaves are fixed to take place on first Wednesday in March. The first race willoe for a Sweep stakes of 10 sovs. each, with 100 akle-,",; four years, list. ; five years, .2st. ; over a country not The see.;md will bo for five sovs. each, exceeding with 20 added, over a count ry not to exceed three miles ; the fi l v l e st m. ; six and aged, weights the same as last ; the wi nner to b e so ld f or 100 sovs. To make make up a good day's sport, t h e t hi r d w ill b e a H ur dl e Race, heats, once round the course, &e. The stakes close on the Ist of February, and th ere i s every reason to expect a very numerous entry. The Steeple chases will be so settled as to permit a view of them throughout from the Grand Stand. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

OLDENBURG, OCT. 20.—(From the Hanoverian Ga zette.)—The little Lorship of Kniphausen has lately been the theatre of some events that are not uninteresting. It is well known, that after the death of the last reigning Count, Bentinck Lord of Kniphausan, Count Gustavus Adolphus Bentinck took possestion of the Lordship, while the nearest collateral relation, Count William Frederic Christian Bentinck, asserted to be the legal successor in this Lordship, entered on the government by proclamation on the 2'2d January this year, but could not proceed to the actual exercise of his rights of sovereignty, in consequence of the occupation of the country by Count Adolphus. On the 2d of October this year, Count William Frederic Christian ceded the government to his brother, Count Charles Anthony Ferdinand Bentinck, and the latter af firming to be the lawful sovereign, repaired on the 16th October this year to the Palace at Kniphausen, to an nounce to the authorities there, his accession to the go vernment. The first Civil Officer of the Chancery had al ready delivered up the keys to him on his demand, when other officers and private persons interfered, and he had then lost them in the throng. Finding opposition (whether it should be called rebellious, or whether legal, we do not pretend to decide), he left the palace. On the 18th October he repaired to a residence which he had in Sengwarden, a place belonging to Kniphausen, where the above mentioned Chief of the Chancery soon came, at the head of an armed band, and caused the tocsin to be sounded. The Count being summoned immediately to leave the Lordship, he caused his legal adviser, Dr. Tubor, of Frankfort, designated on this occasion as Cabinet Coun sellor, to proclaim in his presence and in his name, and in the presence of the above mentioned Chief of the Chancery and his attendants, as well as his servants, his accession to the Government, declaring all opposition to it as rebellious resistance to the lawful Sovereign. This declaration was repeated in the open air to the assembled inhabitants, and a proclamation, signed by the Count, issued ; at the same time it was announced that all means that he could command as Sovereign would be employed to enforce his rights ; after which, the Count left the Lordship. There are very different opinions of this affair. A memo rial is in the press, which is to discuss in a legal point of view these proceedings." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRtINCE. The Sena=lle des Pyrenees, received this morning, is full of details of the preparations for the siege of Bilboa by the Carlists, who seem resolved to press it with vigour. We read in the same journal, Gomez is now safe and sound in La Mancha, and with all his troops, who are loaded with booty. If Rodil will yet march to meet him ;if Flinter, with his column, acts with good will ; lastly, if Alain knows how to move in time his brilliant division, which is furnished with every thing necessary, Gomez might still be overtaken, surrounded, and destroyed ; but this will not be done. Why ?-you will say. Because nothing was done when the matter was much more easy. All this is really discouraging. The Sentinelle also announces that on the 22d, a report was in circulation on the frontier that Puenta la Reyna had been taken by the Carlists. The Memorial des Pyrenees says, " It is affirmed that the several diplomatic agents who have left Madrid have received orders from their respective Governments to remain at Pau till further orders, to watch the course of events. A congress for the discussion of the affairs of the Peninsula is also spoken of as likely to be shortly assembled. It is announced that Prince Charles of Mecklenburg, brother-in-law of the King of Prussia, will soon arrive at Paris, but the Ministerial press takes care to say that his visit has no connection with the marriage • that has been spoken of. Vice-Admiral Roussin was in fact on board the Hermione frigate, which arrived at Marseilles on the 24th. The Hermione sailed from Constantinople on the Bth of .the month.

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 29.—Redshid Pasha has ob tained a brilliant and complete victory over the great Koor dist Chief Ravander Bey, whose possessions extend to the frontiers of Persia, and who was so totally routed that he was obliged to surrender with his whole family. OCT. 4.—Scarcely was the news received of the great victory of Redschid Pasha in Asia, when on the 29th and 30th September, several Tartars arrived from the Pasha of Bosnia, announcing an equally great victory over the rebels in that province. At the same time the Rumeli Valessi reports from Monaster, in Albania, a defeat of the rebel Mahmoud Pacha, in which 3,000 of the insurgents were killed. It is difficult to describe the joy which these events have given to the Sultan and all the Turkish Ministers. The Seraskier, Achmet Pasha, communicated the news of these victories to the Foreign Ministers, who have already presented their congratulations ; and it is reported to-day that the insignia of the Turkish Order of the First Class will be sent to the Vizier of Bosnia and to Redschid The consequences of these military events are impor tant. The opponents of reform become weaker and weaker, and this war is a real nursery for the Turkish regular troops, whose aversion to the new organization of the army will subside, as the power of the Sultan in the interior becomes more consolidated. The English and French Ambassadors have dispatched couriers with this news. The new organisation and division of the Empire into ten general prefectures will be shortly published. After such events, the Sultan prosecutes his plans much more promptly, and avoids all resistance before-hand. The system of centralization, which has been injurious in other countries, seems to him calculated to restore the ancient power of the Empire. Mr. Urquhart and the Reis Effendi have agreed on the basis of a commercial treaty between England and Turkey.—Frankfort Paper, Oct. 26. In the Gloucester Poor Union the rates have been reduced 3,000/. per annum. A meeting of the Baronets of Scotland and Nova Scotia was held at Gibb's Royal Hotel Edinburgh, on Friday last, Sir John Campbell, Bart., of Ardnamurchan, in the chair. The meeting was rather thinly attended, though greater than that which last year originated the proceedings of the Ulster Baronets. The secretary laid before the meeting an opinion of the attorney and solicitors, Yorke and Talbot, strongly corroborative of the view taken by him, that the rights of the Nova Scotia Baronets cannot be af fected by non-user, prescription, &c. Mr. Muir stated that there was a cage in point in dependence in the Court of Session betsween his client, Sir William Sibbald, and the Crown, Sir William having lately taken infeftment of his 16,0'30 acres in Nova Scotia, the Crown officers had brought an action of reduction. This case, which may be viewed as a trial case, will shortly come to judgment ; the importance to the order not being foreclosed by a decision of an indivi tual case, and the advantages to arise from an active co operation, are apparent. After the famous battle of Lissa, in which Frederick the Great, with 30,000 men, defeated the Austrian army of 90,000, he u nexpectedly rode to the castle of Lissa, a small village on the approach to Breslau, which still remained in the hands of the Austrians. A. party of Austrian officers were not a little surprised when their conqueror entered the room where they were assembled, modestly inquiring, Have you any room for me h ere , gen tl emen ?" CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Saturday night an in quest was held at the Good Man, Norton-street, Maryle bone, on the body of Mr. Thomas Mason, aged 23. Mr. Elridge,William coach-maker, of No. 30, C ar urton-street, Fitzroy-square, deposed that the deceased, who was a Single man, and by t ra d e a ca bi ne t- ma k er , h a d resided in witness's house fo r the last six months ; for several weeks befo re h i s melanch o ly d ea th, he was extremely- dejected in spirits ; on Thursday morning he did not make his appearan ce, and some suspicion was consequently excited ; h is door was knocked at, but he made no answer ; the door was ultimately broken open, when he was discovered in bed quite dead, dead, caused by a pistol-bullet entering his head. Deceased was not embarrassed, nor had be been disappointed in his affections. Verdict—" Temporary derangement."
